FABRIC.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 20, 1909.

Application filed iarch 11, 1909. Serial No. 482,672.

To cltwhom it may concern:

"13c lt'knownthat I, JOHN L. PATTERSON, a citizen of the United States, residin at RoanokeRapids, in the county of Ha ifax.

and State. of North- Carolina, have invented certain "new and useful' lrnprovements in Fabrics, of'which the following is a specificalengths andthe raw (out) edges hemmed there will be producedaround the edge of the articleor severed section a margin or border of substantiallythe same depth and design throughout. The fabric is designed especially for the production of napkins, though the sections quirements of the may be used for other purposes the size and weavebeing varied to suitthe particular re case.

I In the drawings, there is shown in Figure 1 a plan of a section of the fabric;'and in Fig. 2 a completed napkin, the raw edges of which have beenhemmed. l

Referring to Fig. 1,,1, 2, and 3 designate the napkins or napkin-patterns of a continue ously-woVen piece of cloth, said piece having selvages 4 and 5 which extend throughout the" length of the fabric. Along such selvages there isproduced a pattern or, margin 6-,preferably of a differentweave (as, for instance, a 2-up' -2 down'twill) from the body of the pattern or desi n, and such weave is extended across the c oth between adjacent.

napkins, as at 7 and 8Q As will be noted upon an inspection of Fig. 1, the abutting sections 7 and 8 are formed the reverse of each other, soas to produce a path or demarcation along which the napkins mav be severed. f Said sections'or end marginal-per tions are of a depth greater than the side marginal sections or 'twilled portions 6, so

that, when. the raw edges are hemmed, a

border of,the same-depth and designwillbe formed extendini entirely around the napkin, as shown in 1g; 2-.

According to the nature of the pa tern on such a fabric as herein shown, it is necessary to changethe direction of the twill at a given having two contrastin point, and such change is indicated in the drawings in border or mar inal sections 6, 7 and 8, but it is to be dist nctly understood that the invention is not limited to such change in direction.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is: a

1. As a new article of manufacture, a continuous piece of cloth havin a series of sections adapted to be severed roin each other, said sections being defined by a woven strip sections, which strip extends across the 0 0th, saidstripbeing of a weave the same as that produced adjacent to the selvages ofthe cloth and disitjingtive from the weave or pattern of the 2? As a new article of nianufacture, a continuous piece of cloth having a pattern or weave formed adjacent to each selvage distinctive from the body weave; and a series of transverselyextending woven strips of the same pattern or weave as the edge strips,

said transverse strips being of a width more than twicg the width of the edge strlps.

3. As a new article of manufacture, a continuous piece of cloth having a distinctive pattern or weave extending along the mar gins thereof adjacent to the selvages;:and a series of Woven strips, each of said strips being formed of the same distinctive weave produced in two parts, one the reverse of the other, whereby a demarcation will be prowhich the fabric may be severed duced' upon into predetermined len ths.

4. As a new article of manufacturc,a con tinuous piece of cloth having a distinctive weave extending along the margins thereof adjacent to the selvages; and woven strips dividing the cloth into a series of patterns, each of said strips being formed of the same distinctiveweave as the marginal weave,

arts, one the reverse of the other, each part ein of a depth greater than that of the, dept of the marginal strip:

5. As a new article of manufacture, a continuous strip of pattern clothhaving a series of distinctive woven strips extending across the a series of and produced in two abutting formed in two abutting parts of the same distinctive weave, one part being the reverse of the other, whereby a demarcation will be produced upon which the patterns may be 5 severed.

6. As a new article of manufacture, a pattern cloth having a mar inal strip of a distinctive weave formed a jacent to each selvage, and with end strips of the same distinctive weave, said end stri s being of a greater 10 de th than the marginaFstrips.

n testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
